New Baby Sister!

I love holding my new Sister, Vignette! She is so tiny. She is 10 days old today. I saw her be born in the birth pool and I cried. I took a video of the whole thing.
Now I hold her whenever Mommy needs to do something like make lunch, go to the bathroom, or grab Azrielle (who's 2).
I'm a big helper.

new bike

I have a new bike. I can even ride it and I gave my old scooter to Onika. Here is the things I can do. I can ride it when we go for a walk. I can ride it when I go to my friend Emmett's house. And I can do it when I go to the park. And I love to ride it.

Picture Day!

Daddy took us to get professional pictures taken. Mommy was too stressed out. But she ended up getting us ready anyway.

The lady was very nice. We all wore the same dress.

Bringing this thing up to date...

I went to Seattle this Spring with my Family. When we got there, Onika and I said "Washington! Washington! Hooray!"
And when we got to my Grandma Carol and Grandpa Bill's house, I was so tired of sitting in the car! (See video on the Left)
We had lots of fun, and I saw lots of Aunts and Uncles. We had a special dinner after my Great Grandmas Memorial Service.

I have an Uncle Jim, and Onika liked him alot.

After we left Grandma Carol's house, we went to Gram's apartment.

We saw lots of cousins and went bowling for the first time! I did a good job, and Onika too.

I want to go back to Seattle soon!

Just last month Gram came to visit us here in Indiana. We went to the zoo and had Bento lunches. I saw cute little monkeys, I think they were called Tamarins. We saw a daddy long legs spider, but it wasn't in a cage. It made me feel a little itchy.

We sewed silly sock creatures, and it was my first real sewing project. Mom helped a little. My creature's name is "Curtsy". She has a little skirt.

We are going to do fireworks tomorrow night with our friends, the Oldings. I can't wait! Tomorrow is the day we gained our freedom as a country. The fireworks stand for the cannons and scary war that was necessary for our nations freedom. I hope we see lots of flags tomorrow.

Moreah.

I'm Eight!!

Happy Birthday Moreah! from Beth Ritzman on Vimeo.

December 12th was my Eighth Birthday!

I got a horse to paint, and a loom to make a purse. I got a horse puzzle and a square puzzle. There was some art stuff and some clothes, a couple of dolls, and a bunch of money! Thank you for all the lovely presents and cards.

My Mommy hid my presents, and my sister, Onika gave me clues about where to find them. I found them all very easily. It was so fun!

We went to Carlos O'Kellys for dinner, we had fried ice cream for dessert. My Mommy and I went to a Movie, Enchanted, all by ourselves.

Moreah and Onika

This is me and Onika. We want to be twins. We love each other, and play together.
We like to play outside.
She is my sister and she's pretty. She's kind and gentle.
I like her just the way she is.

Narration on the Zoo

I like Monkeys because they start with the same letter as my name!

They live in the Zoo here in Fort Wayne.

They swing on trees and they hold onto things with their tails.

There was one monkey with no tail. But he could still climb without it.

They looked like Curious George. They were black and white, and they were pretty long and skinny.

I think there were maybe 10 Capuchin Monkeys on the island with a moat around it.

There were vines, trees, logs, and leaves on the island.

The Monkey with no tail saw a Robin in a tree. He climbed up the tree because the Robin was there. He chased the Robin out of the tree.
